** In real life, the relationship between Queen Anne and Sarah was already fraying before Abigail entered the picture. Though Sarah described Abigail as conniving and devious in her accounts of the events, it's seen as more likely that Queen Anne saw Abigail's sweet, even-tempered disposition as a welcome alternative to Sarah's forceful personality. Furthermore, Abigail never poisoned Sarah, and the rivalry between them had less to do with personal feelings about Anne than about being on opposite sides of the political aisle.
** The idea of a sexual relationship between Abigail and Queen Anne is generally accepted as slanderous rumours started by a bitter Sarah Churchill, and the idea that Sarah herself was in such a relationship with Queen Anne is something that comes from reading some of their letters to one another out of their historical context as well as something that Sarah herself took care to deny. It also would have been difficult to have for various logistical reasons. Anne rarely left the bedside of her ailing husband, and she and Sarah fell out shortly after he died. Accusing monarchs and other royals of having same-sex relations with their closest confidant(e)s was fairly common slander in courts of the day, so there is no special reason to think that this was any different.
** Prince George of Denmark, the husband of Queen Anne, is entirely absent from the movie, despite still being alive at the time the film is set and Anne spending years caring for him in his own ill health. One of the reasons for Sarah and Anne's falling out in RealLife was Sarah not bothering to mourn for his death and generally acting like she didn't care that he was dead at all, so him not being in the movie at all changes the real life story quite a bit.
